Back in December, Mason signed an Education Partnership Agreement
for Student Internship with the Department of Defense Cyber Crime
Center (DC3). Dr. Avinash Srinivasan from the Department of
Computer Science initiated this partnership and he worked very
closely with Office of Sponsored Programs in finalizing the
collaboration. This Agreement offers students the opportunity to
gain practical experience in their individual academic area of
study. It provides an environment to find mentors who, based on
experiences and professional connections, will assist students in
learning about the field of cyber crime. The DC3 internship program
enables students to conduct cooperative research, gain hands-on
experience, and share lessons to assist in the learning process, and
find solutions to challenges, while gaining important knowledge from
expert practitioners.
Through this Partnership Agreement, DC3 encourages the education of
graduate and undergraduate students and Mason faculty by providing a
mechanism under which selected students and faculty can participate
in projects of interest to DC3 and Mason. These projects benefit
interns and faculty and may provide special knowledge, job
experience, certifications and academic credit. Interns and faculty
also benefit from working in unique facilities, working with unique
equipment and interacting with DC3 staff. This partnership is
tailored toward the identification and development of new cyber
talent, and accelerates skills and career path development for the
new DoD workforce.
Mason students from various disciplines and all campuses can
participate in this internship program and have the opportunity of
working on bleeding edge research and development at DC3 facility.
